                <p align="justify">The saga of the Oakland hillside property 
                  we enjoy seeing from our homes here in the north area of San 
                  Leandro is culminating into an environmental success story. 
                  On August 11, 2009 the East Bay Regional Park District board 
                  put the final stamp of approval on the purchase of the property, 
                  voting unanimously in favor of the acquisition. The City of 
                  Oakland and the East Bay Regional Park District have agreed 
                  to purchase the property owned by developer Chabot-Dunsmuir 
                  LP. The purchase insures the properties preservation as publicly 
                  owned green space for recreation, habitat, and watershed preservation. 
                  Following the ratification, Board Member Doug Siden said, 
                  &#8220;It is important to note that due to the keen interest, 
                  support, and citizen action by the north area of San Leandro, 
                  Oakland, and Sheffield Village, this project took precedence 
                  with both the Park District and the City of Oakland. It is 
                  also a landmark project as it is the first project undertaken 
                  using the voter approved Measure WW funding.&#8221; &#8220;And 
                  we haven&#8217;t even sold a bond yet!&#8221; he added jokingly.</p>
                <p align="justify">As one of the largest, never developed, privately-owned 
                  properties in Oakland, this 64-acre site will connect several 
                  large open space areas including Oakland&#8217;s Dunsmuir 
                  House and Gardens, Dunsmuir Ridge Open Space, Lake Chabot 
                  Golf Course, and the Park District&#8217;s Anthony Chabot 
                  Regional Park. The Park District will build the &#8220;Dunsmuir 
                  Heights to Chabot Trail&#8221; connecting the existing Sheffield 
                  Village staging area trail entrance to Anthony Chabot Regional 
                  Park&#8217;s Goldenrod Trail. Hikers will enjoy spectacular 
                  views from the proposed 1.6-mile trail at elevations heights 
                  ranging between 200 and 600 feet. Ownership and upkeep of 
                  the property will go to Oakland once the Park District has 
                  completed the trail.</p>
                <p align="justify">The last effort by the developer to build 
                  on the property was in 2006. The developer planned to construct 
                  61 single-family homes ranging in price from $900,000 to $2,500,000, 
                  with the size ranging from 2,100 to 4,610 square feet. The 
                  July 2008 appraised fair market value was $3,600,000. The 
                  owner agreed to sell the property for $2,925,000 and owes 
                  taxes and assessments on the property for 2008-09 now due 
                  and unpaid including penalties of $26,868.57. Acquisition 
                  monies come from the passage of Oakland&#8217;s 2004 Measure 
                  DD for Watershed Preservation and Acquisition along with the 
                  Park District&#8217;s Measure WW for Regional Open Space, 
                  Wildlife, Shorelines and Park Bond Extension passed in November 
                  2008.</p>

                      pictures of the Broadmoor, old family photos that would be 
                      of interest, and historical items. If you have a story or 
                      information to go with the photos, all the better. Please
